Metro Rail

Driving along the RV Road, I noticed that many of the Namma Metro Pillars now had largish drain pipes jutting out at the bottom, presumably to allow rain water from the tracks above and possibly the stations to join the city SWD system.

The Lokpal Bill 2011 is one among 67-odd bills listed as pending before Parliament. Is it fair that out of a list of 67, only the Lokpal Bill gets intensive civil society scrutiny? And why should any bill be passed without complete transparency or due diligence?

A prominent Big-10 service (G-1), 2010. A once-every-5-minutes air conditioned bus service (335E), 2009. Road improvements (Varthur Road, Mahadevapura main road), since 2003.

This weekend, I had parked my car in a residential area to goto a restaurant.

By the time I returned, windshield was filled up with clay mud. No one was there near the car, but, someone from the home might have done that.
